MeSH Review:

Glucose Intolerance

Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text. Read more.

High impact information on Glucose Intolerance

Brachial artery vascular reactivity was also determined in 52 patients with altered glucose tolerance: 30 subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or glucose intolerance (GIT) and 22 patients with type 2 diabetes [1].
Both groups did not differ with respect to age, duration of diabetes, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, composition of NIDDM and borderline glucose-intolerance (BGI) or treatment modality [2].

Chemical compound and disease context of Glucose Intolerance

The ACE I allele was significantly more frequent in each group comprising subjects with type 2 diabetes/glucose intolerance (GIT), and the I allele was associated with higher fasting plasma glucose levels [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Glucose Intolerance

At a health survey of 819 middle-aged, 47-54-year-old, males and females in a Swedish urban area with a participation rate of 70%, the prevalence of glucose intolerance (GI) was 6.2%, 51 subjects (7.0% of females and 5.3% of males), as the result of two subsequent 75 g oral glucose tolerance tests according to the WHO criteria [4].
